Hotel suggestions near JFK Airport

D will be flying into JFK after a trip abroad this summer, arriving at 9:30 p.m. She’ll depart from JFK at 9:00 the following morning to fly home; there are no late-night flights that would allow her to get home without an overnight stay. We assume it makes most sense for her to stay at an airport hotel for the night rather than trying to get into the city. She will have spent a couple of days in the city on the outbound leg, so fortunately she won’t miss NYC altogether!

Any hotel recommendations? We’d want one with a reliable and frequent 24-hour shuttle (in case the plane is late), safe, preferably with late-night food availability. It will be a long trip and all she’ll want to do is sleep, so other amenities aren’t important. I’ve looked at TripAdvisor but I always appreciate the good advice of the CC crowd!

I see Marriott Courtyard and Fairfield are on the list. They usually are good bets.

We stayed at the Fairfield and it was fine. They have a free shuttle and breakfst and the restaurant was open later. Not sure how late but you could call and check.

Thank you for the suggestions!
